What happens next?

Your local police department will do what it does to help recover your bike. Stay in communication with them.

Bike Index will broadcast your stolen bike to the local Stolen Bike Twitter handle and spread the word via other social channels. Our stolen bike data is linked to LeadsOnline so if your bike ends up in the 'system' it will get flagged and you will be contacted. Our community will be on the look out on various resale channels.

Keep an eye on Craigslist. Set up a specific alert using ifttt.com to flag listing that matches your bike. Track apps such as OfferUp and LetGo as they are frequently used in fencing bikes.

Check out your local flea market for your bike.

We wish you the best of luck in recovering your bicycle. We'd love to add your story to our 6,296 recovered bikes. If you wish to support our cause, please consider a donation or join our ambassador program.
